I kinda hope it's a weekly since Wolverines sucked so bad and all of DC's except 52 were mediocre to bad.

Hello Storyteller.

Anything interesting and/or hilariously stupid happen lately? Internet has been damn shaky around here.

>>85894299
Fully integrated marvel universe. No separate universes.

Even though it is solid bronze age superheroes I've fallen in love with Aparo and am kinda reading for him.

I like it for exactly that. Everything is extremely dynamic, I don't care about the distortion of anatomy.

>>85894251
Thank god Aparo's back.

>>85894299
I'm gonna laugh if it's just a big oneshot like DCU Rebirth.
Like that sold soooooo well and marvel's just like, "shit we gotta get in on that, look how happy everybody is!"

>>85894348
I know, that's why I want marvel to do another one.

They never told us how long Wolverines was gonna be at first and marvel's editorial has probably just gotten worse.

LIVE A POEM

>>85894631
Foolkiller was actually so much better than I thought it would be. There was almost nothing in it that didn't work.

>that brings us back to the original point of all this, which is the idea that it's your job, as a reader, to save comics from cancellation. That if you don't buy a Previews catalog, research all of the comics coming out two months from now, and tell your retailer you want to buy one so that your retailer can purchase an extra copy from Marvel that month and Marvel can brag about it in a press release

>I propose a different hypothesis: it's Marvel's fucking fault when Marvel doesn't sell enough comics. It's Marvel's fault they didn't promote Nighthawk well enough to get retailers to buy enough copies of it. It's Marvel's fucking fault specialty shops are the only stores that buy Nighthawk comics in the first place. It's Marvel's fucking fault that instead of millions of people reading comics, there are less than 100,000. All of this is Marvel's fault, not yours or mine, and the propensity of comic book creators to guilt trip fans about preordering has to be classified as some kind of weird version of Stockholm syndrome.

>The same thing applies sometimes to fans, who are constantly pressured by the industry to feel responsible for sales numbers and pass along that attitude to their peers. Don't want to see your favorite character's book canceled? Well, you better preorder and tell all your friends to preorder too. Want to see more diversity in comics? You'd better buy whatever half-hearted attempt at cashing in on diversity Marvel is promoting this month whether you enjoy reading it or not, or else they might get the idea that comic book readers don't like diversity, and that would be your fault, you see. Don't want to see your favorite artist die alone in poverty after creating some of the most successful intellectual properties in the history of American pop culture? Well, you'd better keep shelling out $4.99 for those comics Marvel is giving them a 1% cut of.

That whole thing is worth reading this is a fraction that i agree with i had to edit

>>85894370
There's a reason why Aparo was THE Batman artist for over a decade, anon.

I told y'all Foolkiller was great

>>85894627
I think it's the whole "book of five rings" thing.

>>85894389
>The dog now sits upon my mantel, in memorial.

Well, at least you can give him pets again, even if it isn't really anyway the same.

>>85894639
They said that and yet that came after they mentioned grocery stores as an inroad half a dozen times

>What comics needs to grow is a fresh idea, something new, and something affordable and attractive to a wider audience, and as soon as we all stop enabling publishers to live greedily in the past, they might be forced to start looking for those new ideas instead of blaming you for their failures. Then, and only then, will comics evolve into the 21st century.
and they also don't actually suggest what these fresh brilliant new ideas should be, just that OBVIOUSLY something is out there but Marvel just won't do whatever it is for some reason!

I mean digital seems the obvious route but Didio said a while ago that digital was stagnating and DC's biggest growth was in bookstores

And nobody is considering that digital costs comparable to produce on the intellectual property front, even if it doesn't have the distro issues.

Illidge had a simultaneously accurate and special pleading bit about Nighthawk, but you know, Nighthawk wasn't not available digitally...

>>85894485
>>85894759
Wait, so the sword actually talks to people? Based on Suicide Squad and some other places I've seen her in, I got the idea that she spoke to the sword like someone speaks to a coma patient.

Speaking of Digital, first 3 vlumes of Thunderbolts Classic on sale at Comixology for 4 bucks a pop. That's the price of a single issue.... I have marvel unlimited and i might buy them

I'm pretty sure they've said in the past that digital would be cheaper but they can't put LCSs out of business. How cheaper I dunno.

>>85894744
>Didio said a while ago that digital was stagnating and DC's biggest growth was in bookstores
Oh, I see. Didio's not just a raging moron, he's just old.

Yeah, I know that sounds like some "Eat It, Grandpa!" shit, but real talk, this is the information age, where everyone has a smartphone, and books are getting popular again because everyone can read them on said smartphones. Which in turn is causing a lot of bookstores to shut down because readers would rather download books than get up and walk around for hours looking for titles the store may not even have available.

Didio's just stating the facts as they are now, that more people are buying trades than they were before, but their digital sales remain the same.

>>85895060

>>85894481
I get that there should be more to the comics industry than just the Big Two, but the whole "burn it all down" attitude just comes off as insufferable. If anything it just feeds into the "importance" of DC and Marvel.

>>85895076
That's probably because despite the popularity of cape movies and shows, the actual comics are still frowned upon by society. Only fedora wearing neckbeards read comics books, after all.

>>85895115
There will inevitably be more to the comics industry than the Big Two. The chance for this Disney/WB stuff to backfire on the existing comics will actually come at that point.

Comics' distribution system and the varying levels of transparency and opacity on actual numbers is pretty fucked.

Is there any industry that really self-reports properly and isn't legally obligated to do so? Even finding out like sports team attendance isn't really possible (no standard for reported numbers, half the teams with "sellout streaks" buy their own tickets to keep those going, etc).

>“As a result it took me a year to complete that Beyond Belief four-issue miniseries,” Hester clearly felt frustrated as he shared this story. “I feel terrible about that. Right when I was diagnosed I went to the editor and the publisher and Acker and Blacker [the hosts of Thrilling Adventure Hour] and said, look, if you guys want to move on from me, go ahead, because I have no idea if I’ll even be able to draw comics in two or three months.

“Thankfully they stuck with me, they were like, you know what, we started with you, we’re going to finish with you. They took a hit from that because Image is not happy with that. Image is on a ‘no more late books’ pogrom, you know. They really don’t want more late books. They weren’t happy with that. But Acker and Blacker and my editor Nate Cosby stuck with me and I have to publicly thank them for that.” The relief in Hester’s voice is almost palpable as he relates this story.

Turns out, the idea that comics are too hard to get onto given how any given series has been going for decades? Kind of a load of crap. People are just lazy.

>>85895847
>I like reading comics with people talking about them, and there's so much shit to discover
Mostly obscure shit nobody has ever heard of that deserves more recognition, and the fact we're all waifu/husbando-fags who are madly in love with a bunch of dweebs from the future.

>>85895970
I guess it's like maybe they wanted to break the mold and tried to make an edgy character, but the actual player is group mom and it just didn't stick?

To be fair, the Legion bounced around in other books before settling into their own. So I can see someone being thrown for a loop if they went searching.

Yeah I never really understood that complaint. When I started reading comics I just picked up whatever looked cool and started reading. Aside from occasional name drops and back info you need is usually presented at some point. And these days I feel like that complaint is even more pointless with all the movies and shit making these characters and their backstories such common knowledge in pop culture.

The only thing I ever had trouble getting into was Green Lantern but that was because it was right in the middle of Johns' massive run. Although after reading his run from the start and catching up to Blackest Night I ended up going back and just reading every GL book from the beginning. That was a fun summer and probably why the Legion storytime got me itching to do it more with other characters.

I decided to finally sit down and set out to learn how to draw. FUCK LOOMIS. DRAW CIRCLES. DRAW MORE CIRCLES. FILL IN. COMPLETE. SO SIMPLE

>>85896217
I've been skipping a lot of the 40's stuff, frankly I don't find it very good. The 50s have been fun especially now that it's getting into the Earth-One/Silver Age switch. I'm also just reading the characters/teams that interest me and dropping stuff I don't care for much, like Lois Lane.

Pretty decent. I might get a free smartphone from AT&T because my current phone is ancient and they're stopping 2G coverage by soon.

>>85896583

wait how did she get from japan to markovia, whats that story

>>85896289
>>85896266
So, basically, Takeo is the Shedder, and Maseo is Hamato Yoshi. Kinda. Either way, Takeo is every bit as much of a little bitch.

Seriously, who does that? I hate my brother because he's an annoying bro-douche tool not because of some insipid romantic shenanigans.

>>85896510
>Yeah, L.E.G.I.O.N. is finally going up
Preaching to the choir, yes, but Vril and company really need to make a comeback. DC's cosmic game is fucking pathetic right now. Vendetti's reign of terror on the GL books doesn't help.

>>85896583
I always loved the talking sword shtick. They don't it too much these days when she shows up do they? I didn't really care for Birds of Prey's New 52 run

>>85896501
Reading old Marvel bums me out because I find most of it these days unreadable. I'll never stop being pissed that Fantastic Four have just completely vanished. Way to shit on a legacy.

>>85896524
You've read one Superman's Girlfriend, Lois Lane you've read them all. At least Jimmy Olsen has bizarre stories to keep it kinda interesting, though I'm really only reading for the eventually Kirby run.

>>85896640
It's like that scene in Kill Bill when the Japanese businessmen just have slots for their swords at the side of the seats.

>Vendetti's reign of terror on the GL books doesn't help

He has to be bribing someone or something. I don't know how he's gotten away with his shit and for so long. Everyone says Johns has all this power with Rebirth, but you'd think he'd use that power to slap down Venditti's shitty ideas.

>>85896618

Don't worry, Marvel will bring Fantastic Four back with Blue Marvel, T'Challa, Monica, and America Chavez.

That lineup implies Ewing will be writing, and I don't mind that at all. I'll accept the betrayal, if only because he's never done me wrong before.

I like the "Johns is keeping him on there to make his own run look better in comparison and solidify his legacy" theory

>>85896763
When I was younger I was one of those snooty "DC sucks, Marvel only" shitty teens. Now I'm the opposite It was around when NEw 52 started that I got really into DC, which is nice because Marvel just keeps pissing me off these days. I've got decades of comics I can read now, which is exactly what I'm doing. Good times.

I don't think I'll ever pick a Marvel book up again at this point. I'm clearly not their demographic and they don't even try to put out good stories anymore. Everything is just gimmicks, quick sells, and variants/new #1s.

>>85896706
>>85896772
The sad thing is, it's not difficult to screw up writing any of these characters, Vril especially, who constantly teetering on the edge of almost being a villain at the best of times.

Also, is it bad that I want a L.E.G.I.O.N book with both Stealth and Blackfire in it? I shouldn't want a love triangle, but this seems like it would be really funny.

Its not *bad* per se, but Marvel is definitely banking on everyone forgetting Reed and Co, in favor of the new hotness. And while Ultimates is an enjoyable book, its not really because of the cast themselves.
